Oral History | Fortunoff Collection ID: HVT-4101

Videotape testimony of Anna R., a non-Jew, who was born in Passau, Germany in 1960. Ms. A. recounts not learning about World War II; winning an essay contest which required research on local war history; learning of the Nazi past and the existence of a camp in Passau; being sued for libel as a result of her research; assistance from a supreme court judge who later wrote the preface to her book; settling the suit upon his advice; local people openly admitting their Nazi pasts; local hostility; protesting large neo-Nazi meetings (David Irving was a featured speaker although it was illegal for him to be in Germany), display of the swastika, and singing of Nazi songs; calling in the international press; her parents' support despite their political conservatism; and leaving Germany. She discusses her appearance on "60 Minutes" and a film based on her experiences ("The Nasty Girl").
